= Features/PreUpgrade Assistant = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade_Assistant Feature owner(s): Nils Philippsen <nils@xxxxxxxxxx>, Phil Knirsch <pknirsch@xxxxxxxxxx> The PreUgrade assistant is a tool to help people upgrade from one release to another and be sure to track important manual configuration changes they performed. == Detailed description == The idea behind the The PreUpgrade assistant came from the notion that even during the rather short release cycles in Fedora occasionally there are changes that are incompatible between releases and which are either hard or nearly impossible to cover during a standard package upgrade. Examples would be major version upgrades of applications or services that change configuration file syntax or on-disk date format changes. The assistant works by analyzing the source system and will generate a report which will offer information and configuration files for typically changed settings and services. It offers a plugin architecture where component or functional area owners can contribute and write their on plugins in python that can generate additional information for the report. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
